Stylus stuck in groove
Has anybody come up with a technique for dealing with the annoyance of a stylus stuck in a groove, even on an immaculately clean record? I used to in my “yute” examine the record under a light and pick the offending speck out with a toothpick. My eyes aren’t that good anymore. I try washing or even soaking the offending record using the VIP cleaning machine mostly to no avail. How does it even happen?
One day the disc is perfectly clean and next the sticking occurs.
It’s a mystery.

@rvpiano, Being a bit a more pragmatic - a UV light can sometimes indicate debris that you will not be able to see with ’white’ light. and assist those aging eyes. This unit has good power for the inspection - only expose the record to the UV light for a few seconds for the inspection to prevent any damage and do not view the light with your eyes directly - https://www.amazon.com/Alonefire-Flashlight-Blacklight-Rechargeable-Protective/dp/B08FX7SQ3D/ref=pd_.... You may find that the offending item is nothing more than a strand of hair. Some debris/particle can prove very difficult to remove - using your VPI vacuum RCM - you may require some aggressive brushing to dislodge. Its not about putting a lot of pressure on the brush, its about moving the brush back & forth quickly to get the cleaning fluid to develop enough agitation to free the debris and float it so that the vacuum can remove. Hopes this helps, |
